INSTALLATION Unpacking and Cleaning Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance. To avoid injury and causing damage to the appliance, be extremely cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task. Keep children away from the packaging material. DANGER OF SUFFOCATION! Wash the inside and outside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or chemical cleaning agents should not be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft brush or towel is recommended. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry. You may want to leave the lid open allowing the compartment to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors. Check with your local Environmental Agency for recommendations on recycling packaging materials in your area. Positioning The area in which the appliance is to be installed must be relatively cool, dry, and suitably ventilated. The area must be protected against any beating rain and free of abundant dust. To ensure proper function, the appliance must be placed horizontally on a flat, firm, and stable surface resting level on all four supports. The floor must be sufficiently strong enough to support a fully loaded cabinet. Use wood or metal shims to level the appliance if necessary. Do not place the appliance close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler, chimney, etc.), and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from the inside of the cabinet. Ensure that there is adequate space between the appliance and neighboring walls or large objects. A minimum spacing of 3 inches (7.5cm) is highly recommended. This will provide sufficient airflow around the appliance resulting in more efficient operation and longer appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent openings of the compressor housing cover free from dust and obstructions ELECTRICAL DC CONNECTION The appliance should be left for 2 hours after positioning before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant oil to settle. If the appliance has been handled standing on its side or on end, it should be allowed to stand in the normal operating position for 12 hours before turning it on. The appliance does not have an on-off switch or disconnect switch. To turn the unit on, simply connect the unit's lead wires to the solar array using the MC4 connectors (provided).

THIS APPLIANCE MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO ANY AC (Alternating Current) POWER SOURCE!

THE APPLIANCE MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A 12V NOMINAL PV ARRAY ONLY.

ATTENTION: Polarity is important in wiring this DC appliance. Be sure that positive terminal of the PV array coincides with the positive wire to the appliance, and the negative terminal of the PV array coincides with the negative wire to the appliance. The leads should be connected using cable shoes and screwed connections. Joined leads should be avoided.

Fuse Not required for this application. ATTENTION: If a longer connection cable is necessary, the cable cross section (or gauge) must be equal to or greater than the cable sizes recommended on the following table. Be careful that the input voltage at the appliance does not drop below the cut-out voltage of the compressor. OPERATION The SunDanzer refrigerating appliance, like any DC refrigerating appliance, requires care unique from appliances plugged into an electric utility. Prudent operation is the key to extended service. Starting the Appliance After the appliance has been properly connected to the 12 VDC power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 7 day prior to adding vaccine load. This will insure that the appliance has had sufficient time to charge the thermal storage packs. Holdover This unit is equipped with thermal storage packs that provide cooling when the appliance experiences power failure. In the case of power failure it is important to maintain observation of vaccine temperature with the externally mounted thermometer. The following chart gives the approximate time that the internal temperature will remain within the acceptable temperature range if the thermal storage packs begin fully frozen.

Temperature Control The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the sensor situated below the perforated aluminum floor. The appliance will automatically detect ambient conditions and select either heating or cooling mode. No temperature adjustment is necessary.

Mode Ambient Temperature (°F) Ambient Temperature (°C) Cool >40 >4.44 Heat <40 <4.44

Temperature Alarms A flashing green (bottom) light indicates that the internal temperature is within the acceptable 2°C to 8°C range. The red indicator light (top) will flash and the buzzer will sound every 10 minutes if the internal temperature of the appliance has experienced a period out of the 0°C to 10°C range for longer than 10 minutes. Both green and red flashing lights and the buzzer sounding every 20 minutes indicates that the unit has experienced a short term excursion out of the 2°C to 8°C but within 0°C to 10°C. Opening and Closing the Lid To ensure maximum performance of the appliance the lid should remain closed. The lid is fitted with a uniform sealing strip to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the appliance compartment. Be sure that the lid and the lid seal is free from obstructions and forms a complete seal around the rim of the cabinet. The external thermostat wire is designed to be shut in the lid and will not effect performance. Overfilling and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will prevent a good seal.

NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE LID! When the lid is opened, the air inside the appliance becomes slightly warmer and expands. When the lid is closed again, the air is cooled quickly and contracts. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it more difficult to open the lid again immediately. This is quite normal. Wait for a few moments until the vacuum has equalized and then open gently. Also, ensure that the cabinet is not locked.

Loading Appliance • Before adding vaccine be sure that the internal temperature is within the acceptable range of 2°C to

8°C, indicated by the green flashing light. • Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 7 days after initial turn on prior to adding vaccine load. This will

insure that the appliance has had sufficient time to charge the thermal storage packs. • Do not place any vaccine above the marked maximum fill line.

Baskets Stackable baskets are provided with this appliance.

CLEANING Defrosting Defrosting is not necessary for this appliance. Internal Cleaning Wash the inside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is recommended. Washing with a mixture of two table spoons of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry. External Cleaning Wash the outside of the cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, chemical cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring sponges to complete this task as it may cause damage to the surfaces. HINTS & TIPS Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the refrigerant coils.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

• If the internal temperature is out of the acceptable temperature range a buzzer will sound (see Temperature Alarms)

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.

• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor housing cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3in. or 7.5cm)

• Always keep vaccines stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers, and allow some space for air to circulate around each item.

• Avoid keeping the lid open for extended periods of time or opening the lid too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor run unnecessarily often.
